The Journal sympathizes with a council view on assessments but condemns a late rushed desk assessment of the city. It argues the code requires an assessor to act before May and finish by September, noting council and officials failed to meet deadlines. The piece cautions about bias if council aids the assessor and urges a stable, ongoing business management approach rather than last minute actions.
